Welcome back, St. James R-1 students! Here's to a year of learning and achievements. Remember that every day is a great day to be a Tiger!
Back-to-School Reminders!
Just a friendly heads-up about the weather this week. Looks like we're in for a hot one, with temperatures potentially hitting record-breaking highs! It's important to plan ahead and stay cool.
Please feel free to send a water bottle with your child to help keep them hydrated throughout the day. Hydration is key, and while we do have water fountains available, having a personal water bottle can be extra convenient.
Also, a quick reminder about before and after-school congestion, especially along Jefferson Street. Please anticipate more traffic and activity in the area. Plan accordingly and give yourself some extra time.
Stay cool, stay safe, and let's make it a great week, no matter what the weather throws our way! #BackToSchool #tigerpride #stjschools

Mission Monday: Students Unite for Community Good!
For this #MissionMonday, we want to spotlight the teamwork of our Tigers football team and St. James FFA. Their joint effort during the recent commodities event truly showcased the #tigerpride at the heart of our community.
At the St. James Caring Center Commodity Day Distribution, our FFA members, alongside their advisors, partnered with the Tigers football team and coaches to load vehicles with a month's worth of groceries. This hands-on experience left a lasting impact on both our students and the community they serve, reinforcing the significance of collaboration and compassion.
Beyond the event's success, it's the connections formed that truly shine. Our students connect with the community, while the community strengthens our students' growth. This reciprocal bond embodies our core mission of empowering our students through caring relationships, academic excellence, and community partnerships. #stjschools

Mission Monday: Unveiling the Little Library at Lucy Wortham James Elementary!
Lucy Wortham James Elementary has a heartwarming addition to its front entrance – the charming "Little Library." This wonderful gift comes from the dedicated Kindergarten teachers: Roxanne Cahill, Kaylee Karnes, Tory Witt, Kristen Owen, Jessica Rivers, and Angie Gunn. The Little Library stands as a tribute to the enduring impact of Ms. Kathy Clanton, a beloved educator whose passion for reading touched generations of St. James students. Special recognition goes to Mrs. Tory Witt and her husband for their craftsmanship in bringing this concept to life. This space is a celebration of literacy, community, and our #tigerpride.
